By Divine Perezide
ABUJA – A Niger Delta Good Governance Advocate and Publisher of IduwiniVoice Newspaper, Prince Dr. Peretengboro Klintin Bibaikefie, has expressed deep commendations to Tantita Security Services Ltd, High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo), and High Chief Keston Pondi FNSE, for their sustained humanitarian services.
This is coming on the heels of the recently demonstrated remarkable compassion and social responsibility by Tantita Security Services Ltd, led by High Chief Keston Pondi FNSE, who paid the full sum of Thirty Million Naira (₦30,000,000) to cover the cost of a critical kidney transplant surgery for Barr. Etifa Jonathan. The payment also includes related medical expenses, as widely cheered all over the media space.
Barr. Etifa, who is currently admitted at Nisa Garki Hospital in Abuja, had recently appealed to the public in a widely circulated video, seeking financial assistance for his urgent medical treatment. His heartfelt request resonated across the nation, and Tantita Security Services, the most prominent security company known for being one of the highest employers of labour across diverse ethnicity in Nigeria, answered the call by stepping in to provide the needed support.
Last Friday, news of the company’s generosity spread, bringing immense relief to Etifa, his family members and the general public. This charitable gesture underscores Tantita Security Services’ dedication not only to securing national assets but also to the welfare of individuals in need.
Bibaikefie, the CEO IduwiniVoice, joins with countless others, has expressed profound gratitude to High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo, the CEO of Tantita, High Chief Keston Pondi and the company for their sustained humanitarian effort. While calling on Nigerians to offer prayers for Etifa’s successful surgery, recovery, and continued health Bibaikefie also called on Nigerians to continuously pray for divine guidance and provision for Tantita Security Services Ltd, High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, and High Chief Keston Pondi, for their great humanitarian services.
“To me, Tantita is more than just another company. It is either building roads or houses for security men. It is either empowering Youths or talented Nigerians. And now, Tantita is saving lives.
“We should always put Chief Keston and Tompolo in our prayers for God’s guidance and protection,” the IduwiniVoice CEO emphasized.
“This inspiring act of kindness highlights the importance of extending support to those facing life-threatening challenges. Barr. Etifa Jonathan now has renewed hope for recovery, thanks to the timely intervention of Tantita Security Services.” Bibaikefie concluded.

The Ijaw People’s Development Initiative (IPDI) has strongly condemned what it describes as a “baseless and fabricated” petition against the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro. The petition, allegedly filed by a group called the Niger Delta Liberators and Ex-Agitators Forum (NDLEF), was published in Punch and Vanguard newspapers on February 8, 2025.
In a press statement signed by Comrade Ozobo Austin, the National President of IPDI, the group dismissed the petition as a desperate attempt to tarnish Otuaro’s reputation and derail his ongoing reforms in the PAP office. IPDI described the NDLEF as a “faceless and non-existent” organization with no legal standing to issue such allegations.
No Missing Funds, No Wrongdoing
Addressing the claims made in the petition, IPDI categorically stated that there are no missing funds in the PAP office and that Otuaro’s leadership remains transparent and accountable. The statement emphasized that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has no reason to investigate the PAP administrator, as all financial transactions within the office are well-documented and monitored by the presidency.
“The EFCC cannot entertain petitions that are based on mere hearsay and propaganda,” the statement read. “The allegations are nothing but a concoction of lies aimed at misleading the public and sabotaging the reforms being implemented in the PAP office.”
Attack on Otuaro and Tompolo
IPDI further alleged that the petition was orchestrated by Jude Gbaboyor, whom they described as a disgruntled individual seeking to regain influence after being dismissed by the previous PAP administration led by General Ndiomu. The group accused Gbaboyor of being a serial petition writer who has made it a habit to threaten and intimidate government officials for personal gain.
“The public is already familiar with Gbaboyor’s antics. His latest petition is no different from previous ones that were dismissed for lacking substance,” the statement continued. “His actions are an attempt to undermine not just Dr. Otuaro but also High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo.”
IPDI Stands Firm with Otuaro
The Ijaw group reaffirmed its unwavering support for Otuaro and his ongoing reforms, urging Niger Delta leaders and stakeholders to reject the smear campaign and instead focus on supporting the PAP administrator in achieving his developmental goals.
“We call on all well-meaning Niger Delta stakeholders to stand with Dr. Otuaro as he continues to reposition the PAP for the benefit of our people,” the statement concluded.
The controversy highlights the ongoing political and administrative battles within the Niger Delta region, particularly concerning the management of the Presidential Amnesty Programme. Despite these challenges, IPDI maintains that Otuaro remains committed to his mandate and will not be distracted by “falsehoods and propaganda.”
